Things You Should Give Up to be Happy

 





 Healthy thoughts, healthy mind, healthy life.


  • Forgiveness is a gift you give to yourself, to be at peace, to be happy and to be able to sleep at night.  You don't forgive because you are weak but because you are strong enough to realize that only by giving up on resentment will you be happy.
  • If you hold on to poisonous thoughts like hate, anger and resentment toward someone, you will end up poisoning yourself more than you poison the other person, and you will be very unhappy.

  • If you're happy and at peace with yourself, and if you know the reason for your existence and the purpose of your life, you have no interest in blaming, criticizing or complaining.  Why?  Because you're too busy loving, living and enjoying your life.
  • Everything in life changes.  Nothing stays the same .  And the more you try to cling to things, desperately trying to control and change the natural course of life, the more you will suffer and the unhappier your life will get.
  • Happiness can never come from attachment to transitory things.  It can only come from letting go.  Freedom can never come from clinging.  It can only come from giving up attachment.
  • Everything in life is given to you for a short period of time, to enjoy, to learn from, to appreciate and to love, but never to keep.  Things, people, and experiences all come and go.  Everything changes, nothing remains the same, and the more you resist this truth, the more you try to control the natural course of life by clinging to transitory things, the more complicated your life will get and the more you will continue to suffer.

Learning to live is learning to let go.

Learning to let go is learning to be happy.

Saviuc

 







As human beings we all want to be happy and free from misery ... 

We have learned that the key to happiness is inner peace.  

The greatest obstacles to inner peace are disturbing emotions such as anger, attachment, fear, and suspicion, while love and compassion and a sense of universal responsibility are the sources of peace and happiness.

Dalai Lama

      Is the sun smiling at us? :-) NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory captured this image Aug. 21, 2013, showing what looks to be a grinning face on the sun. An image of the sun captured Aug 21, 2013 An image of the sun captured Aug. 21, 2013.     This composite uses a number of images of the Earth's surface taken by instruments onboard the Suomi NPP satellite on Jan. 4, creating an image similar to the famed "Blue Marble." A new view of the Small Magellanic Cloud galaxy is seen in this image released by NASA on April 3, 2013. The SMC is a dwarf galaxy about 200,000 light-years away that orbits the Milky Way. It is one of the Milky Way's closest neighbors and even though it's a small galaxy, the SMC is so bright that it is visible to the naked eye from the Southern Hemisphere and near the equator. The spiral galaxy in the lower lefthand corner is actually behind this nebula. Other distant galaxies -- located hundred

Bruce Diaso

When I was a 19-year-old sophomore at the University of San Francisco, I met an 18-year old freshman who had a profound effect on my life.  Why?  Because he had the greatest attitude of anyone I've ever known.  I met Bruce early in the school year, but didn't get to really know him until the spring semester, when he taught me one of the most valuable lessons I've ever learned. Bruce had been a great high school football player in his hometown of Fresno, California, and was planning to attend Notre Dame University on an athletic scholarship.  But tragedy hit him at the beginning of his senior year.  He was stricken with polio a few weeks before the Salk Polio Vaccine arrived at his school.  He almost died, was in the hospital for several weeks, and ended up paralyzed.  He could not move his legs or his arms.  He could talk, he could move his head, and he could move his hands and fingers, even though his arms were dead. Through sheer determination and hard wor
